Richter Off the Scale
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
It's been a good start to the day for surprise overnight chip leader Dirk Richter - he's extended his monstrous lead to 340,000, and there's still no-one else over 200,000 or so.
We only caught it on the river, the board reading . Nikolay Losev had bet out 20,000, but Richter raised to 50,000, eventually eliciting an unwilling fold from Losev. Richter showed him for the full house just to prove that he wasn't messing about, and took the enormous pot.
By the by, everyone else at Richter's table has been overcome by an attack of the thousand-yard stares, except for Mike Pesek whose jaw is for some reason firmly set in a scowl.
